Summary What happens when scholars cross outside the perceived 'boundaries' of their discipline? What problems arise when a scholar trained in one field employs materials or methodologies from an adjacent subject area, engaging with new sources, research methodologies, and traditions, and how can such issues be resolved? Taking as its starting point the increasing shift towards interdisciplinarity seen within Viking-age studies, this collection of essays aims to explore the benefits and pitfalls that can arise from crossing disciplinary borders in this area, and to gain new knowledge about how to address issues that have occurred in previous examples of interdisciplinary combinations. The volume draws together contributions from authors in different disciplines, among them philology, history, archaeology, literary studies, folklore studies and history of religion, in order to hold a constructive and multi-perspective discussion on the benefits and issues arising from interdisciplinary research in studies of the Viking Age. Together, these chapters aim to bridge the gap that often exists between scholars from adjacent fields of research, and in doing so, to stimulate the trend in interdisciplinary approaches to research that can improve our understanding of the past.

Summary During the twentieth century scholars discovered that oral poetry in entirely unrelated cultures in the world share a basic characteristic: the use of verbal formulas, more or less fixed word strings, which were inherited from tradition. The discovery of formulas revolutionized the understanding of oral tradition, and how oral poetry was transmitted. Homer, Eddic poems, Karelian laments, Serbian heroic poetry, etc., were suddenly seen in a new light. But the original Oral-Formulaic Theory has also been questioned and revised. New approaches in the study of formulas have been developed among linguists and folklorists. The present volume discusses new approaches, models, and interpretations of formulas in traditional poetry and prose. The twenty authors in the volume analyze formulas in a broad context by letting oral traditions from all over the world shed light on each other. The volume aims to deepen our understanding of the function and meaning of these formulas. A unique feature is that the volume focuses as much on formulas in oral prose as in poetry - usually formula studies have focused entirely or mainly on poetry.

Summary This volume presents thirteen original essays that explore how emotions are represented across a wide spectrum of Old Norse texts. Subjects range from love, sorrow, and humiliation to monstrous feelings, renowned lovers, representations of the mind, curiosity, desire, and many other forms of emotional experience. Reflecting the vibrant scholarly interest in medieval depictions of emotion, this volume brings together diverse methodological approaches and critical perspectives. The contributors examine emotive expression in Eddic and skaldic poetry, r mur, romances, hagiography, medical texts, and runic inscriptions, as well as in major prose genres such as the kings? sagas, sagas of Icelanders, contemporary sagas, and legendary sagas. With its wide generic range and diverse critical strategies, this volume significantly broadens the scope of emotion studies in Old Norse literature ? a field which was for a long time understudied but has now become a central topic within Old Norse studies. It will be of interest to scholars and students of medieval literature, history, philology, and the history of emotions, as well as to readers intrigued by how premodern texts register and interpret human affect.
